Swimming caps for the open water

Here at Sea Swim Cornwall we’ve been working hard to create and add to our swimming cap ranges. We started a year or two ago with our standard event swimming caps. From there we then created the St Michael’s Mount and St Ives swimming caps.

Late in 2021 Tom took inspiration from our Swimfari event and created a range of ‘Swimfari’ swimming caps - including a bright blue & yellow Zebra design, a Leopard skin and Alligator design quickly followed.

Tom really started to enjoy designing these caps and has since worked on a range of swimming caps based on retro 70s wallpaper and upholstery designs, as well as getting a number of swimming caps printed in the UK (which is rare!), based around some of Sea Swim Cornwall most popular logos.

Most of these swimming caps are very bright and incorporate patterns that are easy to spot from a distance. For the sake of some epic designs some of the swim caps are a little darker…but we figure if you’re swimming with a tow float, swimming in the pool / lido or on a safe route your swimming cap doesn’t always need to be brighter than the sun!

Looking forward we’ll continue to design and look to add to our current collection.

We’re also open to working with groups. If you’d like a specific logo or design made up and some swimming caps…get in touch! We can offer some very good rates.

Products designed for open water swimmers

Tom from the Sea Swim Cornwall team is very imaginative and has a background in photography and some graphic design. Over the early stages of 2020 he put these talents to good use and set about creating an open water swimming / wild swimming online shop. Most of the products we’ve produced have either been designed by Tom or sketched out….for a ‘proper’ professional to draw up for us.

We’ve tried our very best to create and design products that either didn’t exist or we’ve taken every day products and given them a swimming-twist.

From tote bags to pin badges, woolly hats (for you crazy winter swimmers!) to Calendars and car stickers. We’ve also done our research and sourced fantastic local products that we hope to post out far-and-wide.

The majority of our products are made locally (in Cornwall). Our products are as environmentally friendly as possible and if they’re not, we’re currently looking into alternatives. We’re also very proud of our packaging! In 10 months of trading the only packaging that we’ve purchased is brown paper. We sourced a shed load of old packaging from an old man that lives a few miles down the road at the start of the year and we re-use all of the packaging that we receive from our suppliers. It doesn’t always look entirely polishing when packaged up but….well, we don’t care! For the 2 minutes that the package will be seen we simply don’t think it’s worth the environmental impact.
